βWhat does love mean Mr. Wearing?β βZero in tennis and everything in life.β
This type of thing absolutely terrifies me.
This documentary stayed with me for days after I watched it. Seeing that diary is absolutely terrifying but fascinating. "I am NOW awake" written over and over and over again, scratching the previous "now" the moment he wakes up again because THIS time he is awake and he wasn't before. Just this endless cycle of thinking you're finally TRULY alive...It made me so uneasy when I read it. The brain is a curious thing.
βWhat does being unconscious mean to you?β βItβs the same as death, for 30 years; nothing.β Itβs a interesting double edge sword, he realizes that he doesnβt remember anything, heβs aware it seems of his unawareness, and yet he forgets any pain or trouble this causes him within seconds.
His obsession with consciousness is very interesting.
Those thought loops he has they are interesting to, i think i get similar thought loops when i try to push thoughts away.
Why do they just keep asking him if he remembers stuff he obviously cant, they could have made a better tv program than that.
When he said that it really stuck out to me.
Can anyone find a link to his concert he did in the church? His wife said it was televised in five countries.
They showed him a James Bond film repeatedly, and after a few viewings he knew what was going to happen before it happened, despite having no conscious recollection of it, because it was stored as a procedural memory.
I sat next to someone who had this condition on a long bus ride. Every few minutes he'd start over, and if I told him something he "remembered" he would be surprised. It's kind of hard to describe. His life effectively stopped at 18. Everything after that was lost after about 5 minutes.
You could show him a funny vine and he could live the rest of his life laughing
